compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent directly into the compartment using the appropriate dosing cup.

compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.) When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine during the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some water will be left in compartment

3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners
into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more
concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal
